Personal Information Protection Issues in the Metaverse Perspective

Abstract

The metaverse-a digital virtual society of realities, has emerged from the innovations of the information age. The development of this new virtual society depends on the concerted participation and joint efforts of all parties. Governments should play a leading role in its development by setting international rules and planning the human resources needed to adapt to the field's development. The development of a comprehensive regulatory system is essential. This includes the involvement of multiple parties, such as internal enterprise regulation, government regulation, public supervision, and third-party regulators. By combining prevention, operation, and supervision, the aim is to enhance the governance of the metaverse industry and prevent issues such as the inadequate protection of personal information. The government should establish regulations related to the meta-universe, clarify behavioural norms and legal responsibilities, and strengthen law enforcement. Enterprises, on the other hand, should actively promote a culture of compliance and build a sound internal regulatory mechanism. With the joint cooperation of all parties, the governance structure should be optimised to achieve the goals of fairness, transparency, and administration in accordance with the law.
